Thanks for sharing your experiences with those headlights.
I want to replace the glass covers if I will find some time and way more important: enough courage to do so
Maybe this would be an option for you too since you got them open now?

I can not find a replacement lens source. I am refinishing these while I have them off. Coming out okay, but I have not done the final coating step which makes the most difference.

I really wish they made glass versions of this headlight lens, but it is an extremely complicated shape so it does not surprise me that a glass lens is not offered.

I have found this replacement parts (bulgarian shop): Tuning autoparts with best price from : HEADLAMP GLASS COVER FOR BMW E53 04-07 | ProParts
But I don't know if they do really fit nor do I have experiences buying from this store.

You're right, a glass version would be nice or even if they where designed to be replaceable like the pre faclift e39 ones...
